Guidance on writing a training curriculum

This guidance supports health professionals to develop a curriculum to support a Baby Friendly training programme.

Stage 2 of the Baby Friendly standards for maternity, neonatal, health visiting and children’s centre services requires that staff are educated to implement the standards according to their role and the service provided. A good training programme is essential to the successful implementation of the Baby Friendly standards and the first step towards achieving a good training programme is the development of a written curriculum.
